Episode Synopsis "The Rest"

Welcome to the sermon podcast of Trinity Church of Portland. This week, we continued with our new sermon series for 2025, "Genesis: A Beautiful But Broken World" preaching through the first eleven chapters of Genesis. Our sermon this morning was preached by Cody Cannon. This sermon titled "The Rest" was from Genesis 2:1-3 and detailed how God rested following his creation work. Ultimately, our resting is defined by God's resting. Then, our resting demonstrates our surrender to God, is meant to be done in community as a sign that we belong to God, and it is a reminder of God's grace to us. Thankfully we approach the Sabbath as those under the new covenant who know Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath having fulfilled it perfectly and this allows us to intentionally honor the Sabbath as Christians, in community and worship, and with great anticipation for when we will enter into the complete rest with God in the new creation.
